ANOTHER SCHEME,
Which Proposes to Organize Fair q ssc e'A''oh
How IL is Being Worked

Which Proposes to Organize Fair Association
How it is Being worked.
A scheme has been on deck for some days
for or, AIMING fair association. FOLLOWING
the dissolution of the old association it will
be remembered there was quite an effort
made by some to organize another associa
ton. The attempt failed and its failure L
by many attributed to the fact that quite
number of sections were interested in getting
the grounds before the association waE
formed Tie term of getting the carl
before the horse" has been frequently
ascribed as being the cause OF the failure.
After q lull of some weeks or months the
question comes up in a new form, as ne"
modus operandi is adopted. The effort nov
being made in certain degree reorganlze'
the old association. Let the stockholders Of
the old association put in the amount former
ly employed in the fair association to whlct
it is proposed to add quite large amount Oh
stock'by other parties. The scheme includes
reconciliation of old troubles originating from
the other association and place the money IL
new association. Those at work on the
scheme argue that If the present war3 Ii
fought out it will provea job OF fears and
continue to increase trouble between the par
ties rather than bring about true settle
ment. They argue that the money will con
time to'be locked up for some years, remain
unproductive and all to no purpose.
IT is claimed that some Of those on the de-
fopse in the suit have agreed to set aside diff
ficuIties in the manner proposed and
also some of those engaged in the prosecu-
ton have signifed their willingness to form
a tnew company in the manner proposed.
Some however, of both sides haveas yet fail
ed to agree on the plan, but it is thought in
fuences will be brought to bear that will
cause them to give their consent.
The scheme seems to have originated en-
tirely smong outside parties who go to both
sides of the old association with the proposal.
While the work on the companies is going on
the location scheme hobs up with 1t hoping
to lend hand at a reconciliation. Some
gentlemen interested in the southeast part OF
the city claim they can get suitable groundsin
their vicinity for the association. They are
making what they term big donation to
help the scheme along. They argue that III
matters can be settled in a few days or
weeks it will not be too late to hold grand
fair here this fall. They think the race track,
grounds and buildings can be prepared in
time for late fair They also think that it
can be ST fficiently advertised to bring good
display of everything and they entertain
no fears on the crowd ques-
ton. That they consider the
easiest question of all, as shown by the ex-
perience of the former association in Sedg-
wick county.
In order to place more weight to the
scheme, those working it up throw out ell
the arguments common for holding fair.
They think that such a grand county as
Sedgwick can't well afford to have year
pass without fair. While the affairs would
20 on probably as smoothly as ever and the
would continue to be one of
the very best in the state, they argue
that the loss brought about by no
fairs would in time have an injurious effect.
While Sedgwick can stand more Injurious
effect than probably any other, yet they af-
firm that it is not desired to try the 'injuri-
GUS effect"
In addition to the beneficial results of
fair to the county, it is stated that it will
also be of great benefit to the city of Wich-
tia itself. 1t would be the means of bring
ing in many people with appliances to ex-
hibit who would get chance to see the city
and important business establishments might
result from nothing more than fair The
money naturally brought to the city by peo-
pie in attendance is not overlooked by those
arguing for bringing about another fair as
snciatiOn.
